All this talk was about politicians but the same applies to people in any job, including teachers and school leaders. Maybe this is why police officers’ uniforms are blue in many cities.

Trust develops over long periods of time and through repeated interactions. Once we have established a trust relationship with someone, it shouldn’t be affected by our choice of clothing.

But our first impression of someone or their first impresssion of us could be affected by the colour of our clothing, not only by our words and actions.

When the next school year starts, I think I’ll wear something blue on the first day and whenever I’m in the position of trying to convince a group of teachers or parents that technological change is a good thing, I’ll definitely wear blue!
